Prior to joining ORI in 2023, he earned his PhD at the Biomedical Robotics Lab, University of Sheffield, where he developed a multimodal soft valve for autonomous fault detection in soft pneumatic actuators. His work spans sensor design, fault tolerance, and adaptive robotics.
Recent publications highlight advances in optical fiber bending sensors, bead jamming actuators, and textile tactile systems, demonstrating his expertise in resilient and self-regulating robotic mechanisms. Key subfields include programmable logic control, tissue growth simulation, and industrial exoskeletons.
